Block needed for gas pedal - short wife
The guy I bought my cart from had a wooden block with a metal bracket attached to it that allowed it to easily be slid onto the gas pedal and then easily removed. He mentioned that "some guy" around the Villages makes them. The cart we bought has the seats that adjust back and forth so we thought we could do without a block, but she thinks it would be handy to have one. Anyone know where I might be able to find one?

I could not find that guy for the life of me so I had Mrs. Nucky Streched.

My husband just attached a wood block with a couple of zip ties. I did see a guy advertising the real ones on the Nexdoor Neighbor website a while back.

I'll check nextdoor. Zip ties won't work for us. We only have 1 cart right now and she's 5' and I am 6'4".

Has anyone heard of something to be easily used for 'leg length challenged'() folks...regarding the brake pedal?
I have seen a lot more issues from folks who can't/won't/don't properly use the left pedal...than problems being able to use the right one. |

We wouldn't have this problem if we all kept our disco shoes.

I used a block of wood with velcro. When she uses it, she just attaches the block ... easy peasy.

Re: Using velcro
Quote:
THEY DO NOT HOLD AS WELL OR LAST AS LONG. Velcro if you look at it is nylon hooks that catches a fabric material. I looses holding power as it is used and as it gets dirty. Also, it is held in place with a contact adhesive. I expect the adhesive also looses holding power over time and in heat. I hope there are better solutions. |
